This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) will fund a study to examine the relationship between behavior-opportunity gaps and midlife cognitive health among Mexican-origin immigrants in the U.S. The $460,223 award will support geocoding address data for 1,784 individuals over 17 years and linking this geographical data to environmental opportunity indicators. The study will then analyze associations between behavior-opportunity gaps and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will investigate the impact of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) on late-life cognition and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) outcomes among Black adults. The $520,040.19 award, effective September 1, 2024 through May 31, 2027, will leverage three large national panel datasets to evaluate the causal effects of HBCU attendance and proximity, as well as state/federal...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will support research by Dr. Jinshil Hyun at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine to investigate the influence of neighborhood characteristics, including both objective and subjective measures as well as GPS-based activity space, on cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), and cognitive health disparities. The $448,992 award covers the period from February 1, 2025 to...
This Project Grant award of $794,978.00 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866), will support a longitudinal study to examine accelerated epigenetic aging as a mechanism linking socioeconomic disadvantage across the lifespan to cognitive decline in midlife. The research will leverage the Adult Health and Behavior Project's existing data on individual socioeconomic status, neuropsychological assessments, and stored blood samples to analyze...
This $4.5 million project grant from the National Institute on Aging, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, supports research under the Aging Research program (CFDA 93.866). The University of Michigan will examine racial inequities in neurological conditions like vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID) and stroke.

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $730,089 Project Grant under CFDA 93.866 (Aging Research) to Washington University in St. Louis. The purpose of this 5-year study, titled "LIFE-SPACE, ISOLATION, AND FUNCTIONAL EXPOSOME STUDY IN PRECLINICAL ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND COGNITIVE ENVIRONMENTS (LIFESPACE)", is to examine the use of digital markers from everyday activities, such as driving and physical activity, to identify biological indicators of preclinical Alzheimer's disease...

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $331,270 Project Grant (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to the University of Houston System to study the association between place, stress, and cognitive status among middle-aged and older Black men. The 2-year project aims to leverage data from the Health and Retirement Study and U.S. Census to introduce and evaluate a conceptual model examining how residential environments may impact the relationship between stress and cognitive impairment in this population. The research seeks to provide evidence for future observational studies and inform risk reduction interventions to preserve cognitive function and extend longevity among Black men. By addressing a critical gap in the literature, this small-scale study can inform larger research efforts to understand the synergistic effects of individual and geographic factors on cognitive health disparities.
